On each individual day there is normally a good reason to target someone other than the Duke, but I think it's normally a long run mistake not to kill the Duke.

I agree with most of that -- I think the Duke's call is marginally better than the popular vote, since there are wolves in that, and the Duke's call if wolf-free. But isn't the fact that he's worth killing what keeps him protected? While I agree it's a good idea to kill the Duke, I don't think it's worth the risk of not getting a kill at all.
